The Decision

How should a high school (grades 9–12) approach student AI use when traffic light systems are becoming common, student agency is a core value, teachers are worried about cheating, and the pace of change feels overwhelming?

This dashboard was built by the Inner Circle Advisory Council — 8 AI advisors each analyzing this question through a different strategic lens. Explore their scenarios, test assumptions, and find your school's path forward.

The Council's Verdict

Eight advisors. Two rounds. Three minds changed. One clear direction.

“The traffic light is a factory floor signal applied to learning. The real problem is a worldview about what learning means.”
— Layla, The Sense-Maker
